Today we hear from our New Hampshire Bright Star! Alison shares this update with us:
“Here we are at a rest stop in MT on the day we headed home with baby Heze in March.
He quickly decided he' d been adopted by gypsies because we lived out of the car and never stopped in the same place for four whole days. I can only imagine how he felt finally settling in here in New Hampshire. At least there were already two resident Berners, his Aunt Kiri and Great Uncle Tristan.
By the time we arrived in NH Heze had morphed into Zuber, a variation on the star Zubenelgenubi in the constellation of Libra. After all, he IS a Bright Star! He is the easiest puppy we have ever raised, always playful
with his own toys and never branching out to furniture, woodwork or rugs.
Zuber at ten months
Zuber has a delightful vocal repertoire ranging from hums, to rumbles, murbles, squeaks, whines and joyous barks (getting deeper by the day). He seems to have a comment on everything.
We play together in a puppy obedience class, foundation agility class and occasional breed handling classes. He loves long walks and wrestles daily with his Aunt Kiri.
Between 7 and 8 months Zuber sprouted longer legs and now is taller than either housemate. He has a long way yet to go in filling out, however. He still has a wee bit of puppy fluff on the back of his head. I have been fascinated to observe that when he appears to be growing faster he has less energy to expend in play and training.
He is sweet, thoughtful, easy going and a wonderful cuddler.
Happiest of Birthdays to all the Bright Stars and Moonshadows!”
Alison and I have the same three generations at home — she has an iPup, a Sparkler, and a Bright Star —just like me. How cool is that! And the things her dogs do and the places they go — flipping amazing. Thank you so much, Alison and Tom, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZUBER!
Meanwhile, Capella is still waiting on some of her sibling updates…
Please have a wonderful Monday!
